Profile:

Currently the Western Province captain, and also a dependable middle order batsman. Commins is consistent and reliable without being flashy or pretty with the bat. He was good enough to make the South African Test side as a number three batsman in 1993/94. Now on the wrong side of 30, Commins finds himself out of contention for a spot in a Test team that has become dependent on younger players. As a provincial player Commins still has much to offer, particularly as an anchor in the middle of the WP batting order, which is peppered with stroke-playing batsmen.
